Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The iron formation consists of alternating layers of magnetite and chert. The magnetite lays are 0.01 to 8 cm in thickness, averaging 0.1 to 0.2 cm. The layers const of fine-grained granular magnetite and minor chert. Chert layers are light grey to white, weathering fresh and vary from a few millimeters fo 30 cm or more in thickess.
